10. Power & Industrial (P&I) Update
• Fundamentals in our P&I business have improved
materially over the last year
– Earnings growing
– Forecasting continued growth
– ROIC strong
• Fundamentals in the asset sale/monetization market
have weakened over last year
– Sellers’ market has flipped to buyers’ market
– Driven by persistent debt market dynamics
• Given this, monetization doesn’t maximize
shareholder value
– Neutral to 2008 earnings
– Monetization would now be dilutive in 2009/2010
• As a result, DTE is:
– Discontinuing work on P&I monetization
– Raising 2008 operating earnings guidance and
2009 early outlook to reflect retention 10

In this presentation, DTE Energy provides 2008 guidance and 2009 early outlook for operating earnings. It
is likely that certain items which impact the company’s 2008 and 2009 reported results will be excluded
from operating results. A reconciliation to the comparable 2008 and 2009 reported earnings/net income
